Depends on how wide you go. I had 18x8.5s up front, 18x9.5s in the rear, and experienced rubbing with my H+Rs using stock pads. The rear fenders had to be rolled several times to alleviate the problem. When I changed the shocks to Koni sport adjustables, the car got lower and I started having issues with the front wheels rubbing the front fenders, eventually rubbing off the paint on the inner edge and causing dents in the fender metal. I also broke and dented so many 18s that I wouldn't recommend going with 19s unless you drive on perfect roads all the time (or you happen to drive like a grandmother).
